NEWS
The 3.2.2 release of the eGenix mx Base Distribution is the latest release of our open-source Python
extensions.
The new patch-level version includes a few important fixes:
* mxDateTime seconds rounding is now more careful to not show
60.00 or 61.00 as second value.
* mxDateTime will now correctly work with numeric arrays (numpy)
again. Thanks to Christian Marquardt for reporting the problem.
* mxDateTime's DateTimeFromAbsDateTime() now accepts leap second
values (86400.0 - <86401.0) as well. Thanks to Christian Marquardt
for reporting the problem.
* Enhanced mx.Misc.ConfigFile. Please see the changelog for details
(URL listed below).
If you are upgrading from eGenix mx Base 3.1.x, please also see the
eGenix mx Base Distribution 3.2.0 release notes for details on what
has changed and which new features are available:
http://www.egenix.com/company/news/eGenix-mx-Base-Distribution-3.2.0-GA.html
As always, we are providing pre-built binaries for all common
platforms: Windows 32/64-bit, Linux 32/64-bit, FreeBSD 32/64-bit, Mac
OS X 32/64-bit. Source code archives are available for installation on
all other Python platforms, such as Solaris, AIX, HP-UX, etc.
To simplify installation in Zope/Plone and other egg-based systems, we
have also precompiled egg distributions for all platforms. These are
available on our own PyPI-style index server for easy and automatic
download.
Whether you are using a pre-built package or the source distribution,
installation is a simple "python setup.py install" command in all
cases. The only difference is that the pre-built packages do not
require a compiler or the Python development packages to be installed.
For a full list of changes, please refer to the eGenix mx Base Distribution
change log at
